01Letter to the shareholders

Executive Chairman

Mr Francisco Irazusta Rodríguez

Dear shareholder,

I am honoured and proud to have been appointed Executive Chairman of TUBOS REUNIDOS and I’d like to specifically thank the Board of Directors for putting their trust in me.

We are facing an unprecedented health, social and economic situation. The COVID-19 pandemic is still among us and has generated a glaring level of uncer-tainty. This pandemic is clearly affecting all facets of society, both people and organisations, at the local, national and global level. On behalf of the TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP, I'd like to share our deepest condo-lences to those who have lost a loved one to this disease. Protecting our employees’ health is our priority and we have implemented strict safety protocols to ensure we do so.

Our commitment to our employees’ safety is an essential part of our values, and although our factories are in compliance with the very strict OHSAS 18001 standards, we are constantly reviewing all processes and facilities and working to strengthen training in order to improve our culture and identify where we can improve based on the exhaustive risk analysis that is already underway. This will be a multi-year project fundamentally aimed at developing a culture in which safety is everyone’s

business, lowering the accident rate at all of our centres and protecting the safety of all of our employees and collaborators.

2019 Financial Year

Business in early 2019 was shaped by the entry into force in mid-2018 of tariffs on seamless pipe imports to the United States as well as a significant drop in oil prices, and both of these external factors significantly impacted OCTG (oil and gas) product order volumes and their contracting prospects in the short and medium term. There was also uncertainty arising from trade tensions between the United States and China, which caused a fall in global demand and the corresponding impact on business in the OCTG sector.

Within this context, TUBOS REUNIDOS immediately responded by implementing a sales strategy aimed at reducing dependence on the OCTG sector and the US market without limiting this market’s continued importance and the GROUP’s strength there, a strategy that was successful and led to a gradual improvement in orders from Midstream (pipelines) and Downstream (chemicals, petrochemicals and power generation) and procurement of high value-added products in markets like the Far East and Europe.

TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP 2019 Annual Report4

Page 5: ANNUAL REPORT - Tubos Reunidos

As a result of the above-mentioned sales strategy, sales in the North American market in the 2019 financial year represented 39% of business compared to 49% the previous financial year. I’d also like to highlight the positive data on the significant increase in orders for the Midstream and Downstream sectors in Q2 2019, which allowed the financial year to end with a portfolio 46% higher than the beginning of the year, confirming the GROUP’s ability to grow in all sectors of the high value-added product market. This time-tested ability is a key component of our differentiation strategy and the future development of the TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP.

Net turnover reached 284.4 million euros in the 2019 financial year overall, with an EBITDA that improved gradually over the course of the year as a result of the new sales strategy. It was positive from Q2 on, although Q4 was affected by the impact of 10 million euros in inventory valuations in the US, which caused the EBITDA for the year as a whole to be negative 11.4 million compared to the positive 18.6 million of the previous year. This demonstrates how difficult business development was in 2019 and paints a picture of the market situation. In this regard, the above-mentioned improved diversification of products and geographic markets notwithstanding, the effect of the US tariff entailed an outlay of 18.0 million euros in 2019, the entirety of which impacted the 2019 EBITDA.

Refinancing

A clearly significant 2019 milestone was the completion of the process to refinance 100% of the GROUP's debt. This process ended in December with the execution of the closing documents with all of its financial liability creditors, enabling the company to adapt its commit-ments and debt structure to the market's new situation, thereby allowing it to make progress on its geographic and client diversification strategy and reduce its expo-sure to the North American market as it was granted the necessary flexibility with its financial resources to pursue management improvement and efficiency measures. The refinancing agreement reflects the finan-cial institutions’ confidence in and support for TUBOS REUNIDOS’s future.

Corporate Governance

The 2019 financial year was marked by the stable composition of the Board of Directors and its smooth operation. No resignations or appointments took place. Mr Jorge Gabiola Mendieta was the non-executive Chairman and Mr Carlos López de las Heras was the GROUP’s top executive, acting as Managing Director throughout this period. The objectives of the Board of

Directors of TUBOS REUNIDOS include continuously improving corporate governance of the GROUP, and the GROUP does comply with good governance recom-mendations to a high degree.

Changes were made to the composition of the Board in 2020. The Director Representing Owners of Stable Interests in the Share Capital, QMC Directorships, repre-sented by Mr Jacobo LLanza Figueroa, resigned and was replaced by Mr Jesús Pérez Rodríguez-Urrutia, classified as an “Other External Director”.

Moreover, after taking on the role of interim Chairman in October 2018 to allow TUBOS REUNIDOS to regain its footing and financial stability —a goal of the refinancing process successfully completed in December 2019— Mr Jorge Gabiola left the position and will continue as Independent Coordinating Director.

Since the appointments of Mr Jesús Pérez Rodríguez-Urrutia, Mr Jorge Gabiola Mendieta, and my own as Executive Chairman of the Company were made by co-opting, it is appropriate that the appointments be subject to ratification by the shareholders at the Shareholders’ Meeting.

I’d like to thank the outgoing Board Members for their dedication, service and contributions, and ask incoming Board Members for their full cooperation and profes-sionalism so that we can work as a team to guide the GROUP toward a new chapter of success and profita-bility.

Business Development and Forecasts 2020

As the current financial year is coming to a close, we believe it is important to reference business develop-ment and forecasts for 2020, a year marked by the drastic impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on markets and business activity. The pandemic has caused us to focus all of our human and technical resources, as well as stringent protocols, to making the crucial objective of protecting the health and well-being of our employees compatible with the goal of steadily guaranteeing the production process functions as fluidly as possible and that service levels remain appropriate for all of our customers.

The significant increase in orders in Q4 2019 resulting from the management measures adopted by the GROUP allowed it to begin 2020 with a solid portfolio and a mix focused on high value-added products in the Midstream and Downstream sectors. As a result, the business was developing in a satisfactory manner in line with projections for the first few months of 2020,

5

Page 6: ANNUAL REPORT - Tubos Reunidos

until the pandemic broke out. However, the dynamic caused by COVID-19 cancelled out the GROUP's good start to the year and fully impacted Q2 2020. It is sure to continue affecting the GROUP in both the second half of 2020 and the first half of 2021, which is projected to be quite challenging.

The situation caused by the pandemic is also affecting the cash flow generation pace projected by the GROUP in the 2020 financial year. In this sense, in May 2020, extraordinary financing in the amount of 15 million euros was formalised and partially guaranteed with guarantee facilities from the Spanish government managed by the Official Credit Institute (ICO), as well as the nova-tion of the restructuring framework agreement signed in late 2019, thus adapting certain provisions thereof including the postponement of the obligation to fulfil financial ratios until December 2021, establishing different repayment schedules and increasing the waiting period by one year, setting it for December 2021 and reaffirming and extending the guarantees to the guaranteed obligations.

Turnover accumulated by the end of Q3 2020 reached 189.9 million, entailing a 10% decrease compared to the figure from the same period in 2019. The GROUP's EBITDA from the first nine months of the 2020 financial year was negative 4 million euros, compared to negative 2.1 million euros in the same period the previous year.

It is worth noting that improved margins on growing activity in high value-added products has positively contributed to mitigating the impact of the drop in busi-ness due to the pandemic. Thus, the GROUP’s accumu-lated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) as of Q3 2020, excluding impairment of fixed assets, which was negative 20.5 million euros, was practically the same as the EBIT for the same period the previous year, despite a 10% drop in sales. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the GROUP, Management prepared the requisite asset impairment analysis, and considered updating the above-mentioned Strategic Plan. As a result, 83 million euros were recorded in the profit and loss account for Q2.

Financial gains for the first nine months of the year reached 44.3 million euros. This figure includes, on the one hand, financial costs associated with financing as well as the impact of exchange differences total-ling 19.9 million euros, of which 12.5 million euros did not entail cash outflow this year and, on the other, 64.2 million euros in earnings for the fair value of the derivative associated with the conversion option set out in the refinancing contract. As a result, the losses attributable to the GROUP over the first nine months of 2020 totalled 59.3 million euros.

Strategic Plan, eco-Downstream Innovation, Sustainable Value Creation

Understanding of the magnitude of the impact of this crisis on the GROUP’s results remains limited, and uncertainty and volatility are determining current market conditions. Aware of the difficulties we have faced up until this point and the market situation we are in, the TUBOS REUNIDOS team is working to update the Strategic Plan by focusing on two separate phases:

Phase one (2020-2021) will focus on cash. Postponement of multiple projects throughout the O&G-Energy-Industry chain globally, plummeting energy demand and drastic cutbacks to maintenance budgets in those industries are having a considerable impact on the business and therefore on order volumes over the last few months, which have decreased nearly 50%. This dynamic will have an impact both on the second half of 2020 and the first half of 2021, which is expected to be quite challenging and demanding in all regards for all of the GROUP's management areas, especially financially, although we expect demand to recover in the second half of the year, which will allow procurement rates to go back to normal and the GROUP to take on 2022 with favourable prospects. We should continue to preserve our cash on hand and in banks, which will require applying all the measures necessary to do so and allow for cost reduction as well as the negotiation of new financing sources in order to execute our Strategic Plan. Investments in technology, training and innovation made by TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP over

TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP 2019 Annual Report6

Page 7: ANNUAL REPORT - Tubos Reunidos

the last decade allow us to offer products and solutions focused on the unstoppable and marked progress in the fight against climate change, collaborating and playing an active part in the rollout of renewable energy sources. We understand that natural gas and renewable energy quotas will be increased in the global power generation mix and this will involve working in more demanding environments and therefore with high value-added products. We are bolstering our market presence in the Far East, especially in Southeast Asia, where we are inaugurating our first office in Malaysia in Q1 2021 to increase our presence in the region with the best future growth potential. We already have operations in China and South Korea.

Phase two (2022-2024) will focus on value. This is a period when the effects of the pandemic will have been overcome or mitigated and global energy and electricity needs will increase, driven by a return to pre-COVID-19 demand, global population growth, and greater levels of development in emerging countries, especially in Asia, which will drive demand for seamless steel pipes. Carbon footprint reductions driven by the governments of almost every country in the world will accelerate the progress of renewable energy sources including nuclear, offshore wind, geothermal, green hydrogen/eFuels, biomass, incinerators, and solar thermal power. Meanwhile, increased consumption of natural gas for combined cycle power plants working at higher temperatures (which are more environmentally efficient) and hybrid plants (gas/renewables) will continue to gradually move away from coal and the other heavy fossil fuels in the electricity mix. We believe that this increased natural gas demand will drive up prices and encourage recovery of delayed American shale oil projects as well as projects in North Africa, the Middle East and other areas. There will therefore be new LNG complexes to export the material and the entire gas chain (Upstream-Midstream-Power Generation-Downstream) will require our quality high value-added pipes. Fossil fuels will not disappear, rather they will evolve toward higher pressure and temperature requirements as a result of new environmental directives. This will require higher-value seamless pipes in higher alloy grades of steel,

reinforcing the logic behind our strategy and allowing us to be free from US tariffs and the price of oil.

Our priorities throughout this period will be to train and develop our teams, digitise our processes, develop new products (both dimensionally and with the inclu-sion of higher alloy and more stainless steel grades), and implement a sales strategy aimed at boosting our sales mix in all sectors with higher value-added products. Our eco-downstream innovation strategy is to differentiate ourselves with niche high value-added products requiring technical capacity, industrial expe-rience, know-how, flexibility, quality and differential innovation for our customers with a prestigious brand, offering them agile and reliable services and solutions.

To successfully and zestfully take on the challenge we face, we’ve got the professional talent, know-how, brand, reputation and, above all, the motivation to lead a sustainable energy transformation in which hitting net zero emissions is more than merely goal; it is an obligation and commitment to society and ourselves. The future development of TUBOS REUNIDOS will require effort from everyone: shareholders, the Board of Directors, executives, and everyone who is a part of the Company.

I'd like to end this letter by giving thanks for the passion, motivation, commitment, and dedication of the entire TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP team. I have had the pleasure of witnessing them in action in the time I've spent with them and they are truly exemplary. I’d also like to say thank you to the customers, suppliers and institutions that make the present and future of TUBOS REUNIDOS possible.

I’d also like to thank the shareholders for their support in the approval of the agreements to be adopted at the Shareholders’ Meeting.

06Industry environment in 2019

2019 was a financial year that saw a slight decrease overall for the seamless steel pipe industry, leaving behind two years of global production growth, although we did start off with incredibly small volumes in 2015–2016 as a result of the oil price slump of those years.

The reactivation of global investment in the oil and gas industry from 2017 on, as well as in industry and auto, maintained some inertia in the first few months of 2019, although as the year went on activity levels and investment decreased, which—paired with a decrease in distribution procurement—caused global seamless piping production to drop by 1.1 % over the course of the year. This decrease was much more pronounced in the European Union, whose seamless pipe production shrank 9.3% compared to 2018.

Active drilling rig growth took place outside of North America, as the number of active rigs in the US and Canada dropped 23% in 2019 —after increasing 13% in 2018— putting an end to the progress made since 2017. In the US specifically, steel pipe demand in the Upsteam sector followed a downward trend over the course of the year with operators prioritizing

shareholder returns and budgetary control over increased production. Within this context, active rigs in the country at the end of the year were down 25% compared to those at the end of 2018. Meanwhile, the Upsteam sector evolved with a more positive trend outside of North America, where the number of international platforms (excluding the US and Canada) increased 12% in 2019 compared to the 2018 average. Especially dynamic areas included the Middle East, as well as non-OPEC countries like Brazil, Mexico and Norway with growth in offshore drilling.

TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP 2019 Annual Report18

Page 19: ANNUAL REPORT - Tubos Reunidos

Despite the decrease in active drilling rigs in the United States, hydrocarbon production went up in 2019, led by the majors. The country was able to be self-sufficient and was even a net exporter thanks to shale oil & gas production. However, pipe consumption for OCTG fell 8% in 2019 throughout the country, burdened by a combination of factors such as decreased

demand as a result of fewer rigs being active, postponement of well completion (i.e., turning drilled wells into production wells) because planned pipeline infrastructure had not yet been completed, reduced access to loans for independent drillers and excess pipe inventory in the supply chain.

In this context of market difficulties and financial struggle in the United States, over the course of the year we saw several bankruptcies —above all of small operators and other companies in the industry— as well as partial operations adjustments carried out by local pipe manufacturers, despite gaining market share on gradually decreasing imports, thanks to the support of Section 232 tariffs and quotas. The number of rigs and pipe prices simultaneously fell by the month while pipe stock remained high.

Over the course of 2019, corporate operations focused on end customers, distributors and certain pipe manufacturers in the United States and Europe.

The market in Europe gradually deteriorated, involving an increase in competition and greater pricing pressure. Seamless steel pipe production fell 9.3% over the course of the year while apparent consumption dropped 8.9%. The safe-guards implemented by the European Commission to prevent the market from being flooded with imports from third-party countries affected by Section 232 in the United States (which for seamless pipes entered into force in February) are quite lax and, while they do limit low-costimports to a certain extent, they have not had the desired effects. Given this situation, pipe factory sales and facility closures were announced, especially in Germany.

The situation for other markets is comparatively more favour-able, both in Oil and Gas and Downstream, especially in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia-Pacific. Therefore, the Company is working on important projects with a mix of high value-added pipes especially made for refining and petro-chemical complexes in those countries.

2019 was marked by the trade war between the United States and China. This led to a slowdown in industrial growth and production around the world, with China reporting its lowest growth rate since 2019. Within the context of a slowdown, OECD countries reduced oil demand as their inventories were the highest they had been in five years. Global refining demand weakened. On top of all of this, there was also downward pressure on oil demand.

Thus, OPEC implemented some discipline with output adjust-ments, which, when combined with sanctions against Iran and Venezuela, limited global hydrocarbon supply.

Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions, mainly in the Middle East (between Saudi Arabia and Iran), Libya and Venezuela intro-duced a great deal of volatility into international oil prices.

2020 began with weak oil demand in a well-supplied market facing the latent threat that the developing COVID-19 situa-tion could pose to transport, trade relations with the Far East, product supply and the global economy.

Once the pandemic had expanded and lockdown measures had been implemented around the world, the economy and the energy sector in particular were drastically impacted. The Brent was below $15 at the end of March 2020 and the WTI went negative for the first time in history in April.

TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP 2019 Annual Report20

Page 21: ANNUAL REPORT - Tubos Reunidos

The TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP obtained a net turnover of 284.4 million euros in financial year 2019, which was an increase of 17% compared to 2018. Throughout financial year 2019, GROUP business was carried out in an uncertain and volatile environment. After two challenging years (2015 and 2016) heavily affected by plummeting crude oil prices, 2017 and a large part of 2018 were years with changing trends.

The uncertainty caused by the expected entry into force of Section 232 and imposition of tariffs on seamless pipe imports into the United States caused increased demand in the first few months of 2018. As of June 2018, the GROUP has had to pay a 25% tariff for the products it exports to its core market.

As a result of the entry into force of these protectionist measures, Europe has seen imports increase from third countries that manufacture steel pipes and were affected by quotas in the United States, leading to the ensuing increase in competition in Europe. Although the European Union put safeguards in place in 2018, seam-less steel pipes were initially excluded. From February 2019 on, safeguard measures were added for this sector.

The distortion caused to global value chains by the imposition of tariffs caused decision-making to slow and therefore a drop in global demand. Falling oil prices in the second half of 2018 and their impact on OCTG business activity caused a decline in orders in the last portion of financial year 2018, which affected the GROUP’s business in Q1 2019.

Given this context and as it works in a sector affected by a great deal of competition and excess global installed capacity, the TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP focused its efforts on creating a diversification strategy for its commercial portfolio in other sectors and markets. In 2019, that strategy began to pay off with increased orders for high value-added pipes for the Midstream and Downstream sectors, which helped to partially offset the effect of reduced volume arising from the effect of tariffs and reduced OCTG activity in North America.

Notably, there was gradual improvement in the strategy developed to solidify a business model less dependent on the US market while maintaining that market’s strategic importance and leveraging our strengths there. The TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP is making progress on that goal of geographic and customer diversification. The specific preponderance of the North American market on the GROUP’s revenues in 2019 was 39%, compared to 49% in financial year 2018. Markets in the Far East and Europe offset the decline in other markets, especially the US OCTG market.

The GROUP’s EBITDA in financial year 2019 reached negative 11.4 million euros, compared to positive 18.6 million euros in financial year 2018. The 2019

EBITDA margin was still negatively affected by the tariffs on sales to the United States, which involved a payment of 18.0 million euros that year. Despite the GROUP solidifying improvement thanks to the high volume of value-added product orders —an improvement that was noted quarter to quarter— throughout the 2019 financial year, in the last quarter, EBITDA was affected by the US inventory valuation, leading to a loss of 10 million euros.

The TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP continued implementing Plan TRansforma | 360º in 2019. Initiated in 2017, the plan’s objective is to adapt to the situation of the sector in order to recover profitability by implementing best practices in sales excellence, manufacturing and tech-nical process efficiency, reducing and optimizing stock provision processes, reducing working capital, retaining investments and adjusting profitability criteria required for said investments.

In December 2019, the GROUP completed the process of refinancing 100% of its debt. This process concluded with the signing of closing documents with all of its financial liability creditors, after the fulfilment of all of the conditions precedent stipulated in the financing agreements signed on 16 October 2019 and, therefore, their entry into force.

This refinancing allowed TUBOS REUNIDOS to adapt its debt structure to the new market situation that arose after the entry into force of tariffs in the United States in June 2018. With the new debt structure, TUBOS REUNIDOS prevented €112M in loans coming due between 2018 and 2020. By 2020, its principal and interests will be reduced to €5.5M and the Company has some long-term flexibility to adapt its business to the new realities of the market.

After the entry into force of the debt refinancing agree-ment in financial year 2019, the GROUP recorded its impact on the books, entailing financial revenues of 25.6 million euros, net of refinancing costs. The GROUP recorded 21.7 million euros of impairment losses in the P&L account, of which 19.8 million impacted TUBOS REUNIDOS’s net final result after taxes and minority interests for the year, which amounted to a negative 41.5 million euros.

The GROUP’s management throughout financial year 2019 remained focused on strict cash control, optimizing working capital and bolstering liquidity. Completed in December 2019, the debt refinancing process to streamline the GROUP's debt afforded the GROUP more flexibility in its financial commitments. As at December 2019, net financial debt amounted to 235.2 million euros, 16.9 million more than as at 31 December 2018. In 2019, working capital amounted to 34.7 million euros, representing an increase of 8.0 million euros compared to 2018.

Financial year 2020 was marked by the emergency situation caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, which has been declared a global pandemic. Its rapid trans-mission around the world is an unprecedented health crisis with macroeconomic effects as well as impacts on individual businesses. It has affected our initial plans for the 2020 financial year, as the Group was required to focus its efforts on managing this developing and exceptionally complex situation.

Since the very beginning of the crisis, TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP has been deploying all of its human and tech-nical resources as well as implementing stringent proto-cols to make the crucial objective of protecting the health and well-being of its employees compatible with the goal of steadily guaranteeing that production process functions as fluidly as possible and that service levels remain appropriate for all of its customers.

Until the beginning of the crisis caused by COVID-19, the GROUP continued consolidating its strategy and commitment to geographic and product diversifica-tion rolled out in the second half of 2018, with reduced exposure to the American market.

Turnover accumulated as at Q3 2020 reached 189.9 million, entailing a decrease of 10% compared to the figure from the same period in 2019. The GROUP's EBITDA from the first nine months of the 2020 financial year was negative 4 million euros, compared to negative 2.1 million euros in the same period the previous year.

With a backdrop of uncertainty and a global pandemic, GROUP Management and the Board of Directors of the parent company began taking the necessary measures to adapt, both in terms of their commitment to the safety of our workers and in terms of the GROUP's finances, focusing the latter measures mainly on cost control, fixed and temporary labour force adjustment plans and salary cuts, and negotiation of new sources of financing in order to strengthen and protect our liquidity position.

The situation caused by the pandemic is also affecting the cash flow generation pace projected by the GROUP in the 2020 financial year. In this sense, in May 2020, extraordinary financing in the amount of 15 million euros was formalised and partially guaranteed with guarantee facilities from the Spanish government managed by the Official Credit Institute (ICO), as well as the nova-tion of the restructuring framework agreement signed

in late 2019, thus adapting certain provisions thereof including the postponement of the obligation to fulfil financial ratios until December 2021, establishing different repayment schedules and increasing the waiting period by one year, setting it for December 2021 and reaffirming and extending the guarantees to the guaranteed obligations.

In any event, the context of the GROUP's business is far from normal due to COVID-19. Great caution is still required. The overall economic framework is complex and new restrictions put in place to contain the pandemic are likely to increase uncertainty on the normalisation process. Aware of this, GROUP Management is currently working on adapting the Strategic Plan.

Tubos Reunidos Premium Threads TRPTFor TRPT, 2019 involved the signing of new commercial agreements with our partners to manufacture high-performance connections. Full operation is expected in the next few years.

In the first quarter of the year, the organisation’s efforts were focused on getting type approval for the JFELION™ thread and developing the first references with this kind of thread.

This connection is the latest and most sophisticated technological development from JFE —the Japanese leader in premium solutions— and is mainly intended for highly demanding gas wells where high pressures and very high temperatures (HPHT) coexist. JFELION™ brings excellent performance features —such as compression and tension ratios at 100%— that allow pipes to attain full performance under extreme working conditions at the well subject to heavy external and internal pressures and high axial forces.

The developments made in the first part of the year notably also included efforts by our partners in the manufacturing of alloy threaded pipes and super chrome-nickel alloys (CRA) for the most demanding oil and gas wells, meaning both on and offshore wells, including deep water wells. These advances allowed us to gain more technical insight and afforded us the opportunity to expand our line of high value-added products in the future.

In March 2019, TUBOS REUNIDOS and Marubeni-Itochu signed a plan totalling 11,000 tonnes, which provided TRPT with workload for the entire year. This plan included practically all of TUBOS REUNIDOS INDUSTRIAL’s most common OCTG piping references (outside diameter 2 3/8" - 7"), which allowed us to industrialise a total of 10 new tubing and casing references in different grades of carbon and alloy steel. The pipes are destined for the world’s top hydrocarbon markets excluding America. It is also notable that the plan includes the first production orders with the new JFELION™ thread.

Development plans implemented in the second half of the year focused on improving processes and quality assurance both for the management system and the production system. This was done by thor-oughly analysing all production processes, basing them on Lean Manufacturing methods, tools like the 5S system, and Ishikawa diagrams. The improvements and developments made in thread machining with a tool design that allowed for process optimisation as well as improvement of quality and surface finishes are also noteworthy.

Finally, Q4 2019 was supported by the partnership with Marubeni-Itochu resulting from the signing of a new commercial agreement, which will be in force for the next three years (2020-2022) and can be renewed by the partners. As a result of this agreement, we added new, next-generation connections for gas wells to the catalogue. They will be sold in the top global markets.

08Value Creation Plan: TRansforma | 360º

In mid-2017, after having incurred significant losses in 2016, TUBOS REUNIDOS initiated its Value Creation Plan: TRransforma | 360º with the aim of quickly recovering the GROUP’s profitability and cash generation levels to ensure its future sustainability as a manufacturer of high-end seamless piping based in the Basque Country. In one of the first phases, we performed a 360º analysis of all the areas of the GROUP and, using global industry best practices as a benchmark, we identified a potential improvement in the recurring operating result (EBITDA) of 45 million euros over the EBITDA of a base year to be implemented over the course of approximately 24 months via:

• Significant increase in EBITDA with a new sales management strategy focused on margins: with the strengthening of value engineering for the customer focused on a simpler and more optimised portfolio of high-end products, with a pricing policy aligned with the level of service.

• Improvement in productivity and costs by seeking operational efficiency:

- Efficiency in manufacturing: by implementing lean manufacturing processes, with an increase in the productivity of industrial equipment and operators, coupled with a restructuring of stra-tegic maintenance at plants.

- Optimisation of the technical processes: with improvements in the consumption and yield of raw materials, energy and other consumables as well as reduction of waste in steel and pipe manufacturing processes.

- Reduction of stock provision costs: with improvements in procurement processes for scrap metal, energy, consumables and other supplies.

TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP 2019 Annual Report26

Page 27: ANNUAL REPORT - Tubos Reunidos

- Reduction in overhead and structural costs:

· Unification, consolidation and streamlining of business support functions at the GROUP level and activation of austerity policies for overhead

· Optimisation of the business support manage-ment and systems processes

· Minimisation of the working capital levels required for the activity and service to the client (raw materials, work in progress and finished product).

09Corporate Social Responsibility

TUBOS REUNIDOS has as its essential objective the creation of long-term sustainable value for our clients, employees, shareholders, suppliers and society in general. We define ourselves as a company socially committed to human rights, ethics and integrity, good governance and the environment, including sustainable criteria and profitability in all processes.

Social commitmentTUBOS REUNIDOS is in communication with its stake-holders (employees, investors, customers, suppliers, local communities, industry associations, social actors, etc.) to identify potential risks and opportunities. In our relationships with these groups we seek to respond to their information expectations or needs, to the extent possible, using the principles of integrity, profession-alism and transparency as the basis.

1. Customers

TUBOS REUNIDOS puts its customers at the centre of its activity, in order to establish long-lasting relationships with them based on the mutual contribution of value and on mutual trust. The TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP sets as a guideline for its business activity the pursuit of quality in its products and provides its employees with the necessary means for the development of quality management systems. Moreover, in that sense, GROUP companies have the most demanding type approvals as required by their different European and international customers.

One of the measures taken to ensure that the manu-factured products are not dangerous and are used and handled in an appropriate and reasonable manner is

that all the substances that are involved in the manu-facturing process and form part of the end product (including lacquers and varnishes) have a safety data sheet in accordance with EU Commission Regulation 453/2010 (requirements for the preparation of safety data sheets) or EU 1907/2006 (on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals [REACH]), among others, as required by ISO Quality Standard 9001, for which we are certified.

2. Suppliers and supplies

The companies that opt to become TUBOS REUNIDOS' suppliers must undergo a type approval process depending on the criticality of the activity they perform. TUBOS REUNIDOS's Code of Ethics and Conduct sets the bases of the values and principles by which we govern our contractual relationships with suppliers.

Local suppliers: over 97% of the company's overall purchase volume in 2019 came from European Union companies (81% from domestic companies). The remaining 3% came from countries such as the United States and Switzerland. This is a guarantee of the posi-tive social impact of our business on the sector’s supply chain.

TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP 2019 Annual Report28

We intend to ensure the efficiency, profitability and competitiveness in a stimulating working environ-ment that allows for the permanent improvement of the professional value of our staff, all in a field of safe working conditions and respect for the environment.

TUBOS REUNIDOS ended 2019 with a total staff head-count of 1,401, of which 1,279 were men and 122 women. We give priority to fixed employment, virtually all of the staff has a permanent contract.

Among the priorities we highlight:

a. Safety and health: the Prevention of Occupational Hazards is a priority for the GROUP and it has a target of zero accidents. To this effect, TUBOS REUNIDOS has an OSHAS 18001:2007 certificate. Therefore the key is courses on the prevention of occupational hazards, as well as other training and personal development courses. All GROUP compa-nies have training plans that are assessed annually.

More than 12,493 hours were dedicated to training in 2019, and about 138,000 euros were invested in outside training. These hours of training include a large investment in internal training, taking advan-tage of the expertise of the people who work at the GROUP.

b. Equality: TUBOS REUNIDOS emphasises that gender is no condition or limitation, so all the GROUP's companies are subject to the collective bargaining agreement that sets remuneration by occupational category (position/function/task), regardless of gender or any other characteristic of the employee.

c. Social dialogue: constant dialogue with workers’ representatives by all levels of management at all workplaces with employee legal representatives.

Page 30: ANNUAL REPORT - Tubos Reunidos

Environmental commitmentAt TUBOS REUNIDOS we are committed to ensure the utmost respect for the environment in the undertaking of our activities. This context encompasses a commit-ment acquired in 2018, along with other economic and social agents, for promoting the transition towards a circular economy that focuses on goals such as progress in reducing the use of non-renewable natural resources, the incorporation of eco-design criteria, preventing the generation of waste, fostering reuse thus enhancing recycling and promoting innovative forms of sustain-able consumption, among others.

1. Circular economy

In financial year 2018, the Company joined the “Pact for a Circular Economy – The 2018-2020 Commitment of Economic and Social Agents” fostered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness. The challenge of achieving the transition will only be possible with the collaboration of the whole of society.

With regards to its environmental performance TUBOS REUNIDOS considers the following aspects:

• Materials

• Energy

• Water

• Emissions

• Legal compliance

• Environmental assessment of its suppliers

2. Environmental impact and measures taken

The TUBOS REUNIDOS INDUSTRIAL and PRODUCTOS TUBULARES production plants have their Environmental Management System certified in accordance with the ISO 14001:2015 standard. Moreover, both produc-tion plants have the related Integrated Environmental Authorisations, which list all the obligations in this matter.

In accordance with applicable legislation, TUBOS REUNIDOS INDUSTRIAL has performed the Environmental Hazards Analysis, in compliance with the Sid-MIRAT model approved by the Public Administrations, which allows for a greater degree of control over the envi-ronmental hazards of the facilities. Said analysis was performed throughout 2019 at the PRODUCTOS TUBULARES plant in order to comply with the deadline set by the government.

The GROUP's plants have annual environmental targets to seek ongoing improvement in this field:

• Contamination prevention measures for the pres-ervation of the soil and water quality

• Optimisation measures for the efficient use of natural resources, energy sources and raw mate-rials

• Plans and resources for the reduction of the envi-ronmental risk of its activity, assuming its responsi-bility relating to the prevention, mitigation and repair in the event of adverse effects on the environment

Similarly, within its tangible fixed assets TUBOS REUNIDOS has facilities destined for protection and improvement work on the environment. For this purpose it has its own staff and the support of specialised outside companies. All this is part of the Environmental Strategic Plan developed by the GROUP to minimise the hazards associated with its business activity. Also, to improve its management in this field it is introducing require-ments in this matter on the selection of suppliers and a follow-up is carried out of the evolution of the envi-ronmental performance of these plants through the established indicators.

TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP 2019 Annual Report30

Page 31: ANNUAL REPORT - Tubos Reunidos

Identification of hazardsThe activities carried out by the different companies that comprise TUBOS REUNIDOS are subject to the usual contingencies of any industrial transformation business and therefore are exposed to the risk hazards that were they to materialise, would prevent or hamper the attaining of the set goals, such as among others, the strategic, operational and compliance risks. The potential hazards relating to the fundamental rights of people and the environment should also be taken into account:

a. Health and safety: the importance of the indus-trial workforce makes the health and safety of employees essential.

b. The environment: The GROUP's activity can poten-tially affect the environment (use of chemical prod-ucts, waste, emissions, etc.), which could eventually lead to penalties.

In the two aforementioned fields no GROUP company has received significant definitive fines or penalties for any breach of applicable legislation.

Code of EthicsThe building of trust and the exercising of transparency are essential aspects of a company’s good governance. At TUBOS REUNIDOS we have defined a framework of integrity which is reflected, among others, in an Ethical Conduct Code, a Plan for the Prevention of Criminal Responsibility and an Independent Control Body. We promote an ethical corporate culture based on doing things well and transparency. Below we give details of the bases of our ethics code:

• Respect for the dignity of people and for their rights

• Respect for the equality of people and for their diversity

• Respect for the environment

• Occupational health and safety

• Quality

• Strict compliance with legality

Measures and controlAn Independent Control Body —collegiate and of an internal nature— is in charge of ensuring the applica-tion of the code, its surveillance and the supervision of compliance with the prevention model. Anyone can email this body to report potentially unlawful behav-iour or violations of the Code of Ethics at: [email protected]. It is composed of the Chairman (the secretary of the Board of Directors), the Secretary (a member of the legal department) and its members (the Chairman of the Audit Committee, the Chief Financial Officer and Director of Management Control, and the Director of Internal Auditing).

2019 was another year marked by controlling the TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP's investments. The investments made this year mainly focused on improvements in terms of occupational hazard prevention, as well as efforts to increase productivity and competitiveness, in line with the Transforma | 360º Plan.

The projects TUBOS REUNIDOS INDUSTRIAL was working on in prior financial years were completed satisfactorily. R&D&i actions initiated in previous finan-cial years at this plant continued into 2019 and new improvement actions were also developed.

As set out in Plan TRansforma | 360º, the OCTG (Upstream) area was able to newly reduce production costs on special steel grades for applications in Sour Service (SS), by optimising alloys as well as expanding the SS new product catalogue under different corro-sion conditions. Also in the Upstream sector, significant progress was made to expanding the dimensional line and reducing costs on high-alloy grades of 13% chrome for Sweet Service, thus covering the large diameter and thickness accessories sector as well as developing other corrosion-resistant grades for Sweet Services such as 3% chrome, for less demanding situations.

Progress was also made in 2019 to create the new 7 5/8” casing (TUBOPRO project), associated with the new billet format at our Amurrio steelworks. It is in develop-ment and set to be completed in 2020.

TUBOS REUNIDOS GROUP 2019 Annual Report32

Page 33: ANNUAL REPORT - Tubos Reunidos

In the Midstream (pipelines) sector, work was also done to expand the specialised products line with more strin-gent requirements for mechanical properties on high thickness products, optimise grades for sour corrosion and develop new Arctic grades.

In relation to Downstream Power Generation, significant improvements were achieved in manufacturing costs for 304H grade, and a new project proposal was approved by the European Commission to improve high temper-ature behaviour (creep) on 12% chrome grade boilers.

The Group has also continued its efforts in energy effi-ciency and in continuous improvement for the optimisa-tion of production processes, all part of the TRansforma | 360º Plan.

With regard to our large dimension pipe plant, PRODUCTOS TUBULARES continued internal devel-opment at our steel works to manufacture low-carbon (TP304L and TP316L) austenitic stainless steel ingots (project RINOX) and stabilised grades (TP321H and TP347H) based on returns to fulfil the goals of bolstering our competitiveness on very high value-added pipes, cutting response times for customers, and reducing our current dependence on external suppliers.

On the same line of products for high-performance piping for the power generation sector, work and testing continued to analyse the evolution of hot mechanical properties for stabilised grades required by the nuclear market. These activities are aimed at enhancing our technical and competitive position in piping for niche high-performance large diameter piping markets.

Within the power generation sector, we developed a manufacturing process that allows us to reach premium manufacturing tolerances in applications that require control of the inside diameter of the supplied pipe. This market is especially active in countries like India and within its sphere of influence.

This plant also successfully conducted tests on nick-el-based alloy rolled piping to supply piping with outside diameters above 14” so as to expand our line with this kind of product required in new chemical and petro-chemical complexes in the Asian market.

In terms of pipes for Mechanical and Industrial appli-cations, we’ve begun developing piping materials for large-diameter coupling stock for the OCTG sector in order to attain the required metallurgical characteristics, and we are still working on increasing our high-perfor-mance mechanical piping line for the lifting machinery industry.

Over the course of the year we passed the annual follow-up audits for ISO 9001:2015 and ASME certi-fications.

Similarly, at both facilities we keep the rest of certi-fications and type approvals up-to-date as required by our main clients (IBR, ARAMCO, TÜV, DNV–GL, LR, among others).

Good Governance, Risk Management and Regulatory Compliance System

Pursuant to the provisions, TUBOS REUNIDOS’s 2019 IAGC provides information on the Company's risk management system, the bodies responsible for developing and imple-menting it, the main risks that may affect the fulfilment of the objectives and the tolerance level.

Risk management for the GROUP is driven by the Board of Directors and the Management Team and aimed at providing reasonable assurance that the objectives set by the GROUP will be achieved, providing the different stakeholders —and the market in general— with an appropriate degree of certainty to reasonably ensure the protection of the value created. The Risk Management System is in continuous development by the GROUP.

The internal financial reporting control system risk matrix identifies the material headings of corporate financial state-ments and the financial reporting assertions and objectives that may involve risk and prioritises the operating processes with an impact on financial reporting. Said matrix is reviewed annually as per the GROUP's plans.

Pursuant to the provisions of Royal Decree Law 18/2017, of 24 November, which transposed to Spanish Law Directive 2014/95/EU, and the new Law on non-financial informa-tion and diversity of 28 December 2018, TUBOS REUNIDOS issued the 2019 Non-Financial Information Statement, which included the information required to understand the evolution, results, situation and impact of the GROUP’s business with regard to environmental and social matters, human rights and the fight against corruption and bribery, as well as personnel issues. Said Statement was submitted for verification by an independent verification services provider (E&Y) and received endorsement.

The Board of Directors of TUBOS REUNIDOS has performed continuous improvement of the corporate governance of the GROUP and it may be stated that it complies with the good governance recommendations to a high degree. The Board’s clear goal is to continue making progress in this regard, adopting the best practices recommended in the Spanish Unified Good Governance Code for publicly-traded companies for appropriate and transparent management as an essential factor in creating value for the company, improving financial efficiency and bolstering investor confidence.

One example of the progress the Board has made in terms of corporate good governance is the GROUP’s hiring of a Director of Internal Auditing in October 2019.
